Student Night
The Roanoke Chapter is committed to growing the next generation of CPAs! Every year, we host an event for students across the Valley in order to give them access to some of the top employers in the region, as well as hear from people who have been where they are and can answer their questions.
About the Scholarship
The Roanoke Chapter of the VSCPA is committed to supporting the next generation of accounting professionals across Southwest Virginia. Each year, we award scholarships to students who demonstrate dedication to the accounting field, a strong academic foundation, and a desire to grow within the profession.
Our goal is simple: to help aspiring CPAs access opportunities, learn more about the profession, and connect with leaders in the region. Through this scholarship and our annual Student Night event, students gain exposure to top employers, receive guidance from experienced CPAs, and build relationships that can accelerate their careers.
Scholarship recipients are selected based on academic achievement, career interest, and their written essay responses. Awards are presented at Student Night, where students, chapter members, and regional firms come together to celebrate the future of the profession.
